Elder Dennis B. Neuenschwander's Talk

•How can we build a life for ourselves and for our families without some kind of a plan?
•The foundation for our lives must be as steadfast as the foundation is for this building.

Elder Henry B. Eyring's Talk and Dedicatory Prayer

•There is something in this experiment here that will turn out to be of tremendous importance in the future of the church for the education and our religious reach across the earth.
•The very purpose of our mortal life is true education.
•We dedicate this structure, every part from the footings to the roof to thee, our Heavenly Father, and to the work of the beloved Son in behalf of thy children.
